Parents are always warning their kids not to wear too much makeup which, besides possibly looking like a raccoon, can actually have some negative consequences. Michael Chiklis is a perfect example of makeup-gone-wrong. Born in Massachusetts, Chiklis is perhaps best known for his role as the Thing in Fantastic Four or Jim Powell in No Ordinary Family on ABC.
He is noted for, among other things, having no hair. The reason for this is because of a role he attained at the age of 20. Chiklis was playing a 65-year-old man in “You Can’t Take It With You” and shaved his head to look more authentic. However, instead of using powder on his head, he used greasepaint, and improperly removed it at the end of each day.
This killed all of the hair follicles on his head and resulted in him going permanently bald! Chiklis claims it was extremely traumatic for him, and he was so depressed he even attempted to wear a hairpiece!
